Wine of the Week
Posted by Fredric Koeppel under Burgundy , Chardonnay , France , Sparkling Wine , Wine of the Week[2] Comments
The Vincent Crémant de Bourgogne, non-vintage, made completely from chardonnay grapes grown in the Côte Chalonnaise, south of
Burgundy proper, sports a new, simpler and slightly more elegant label. (And a slightly higher price than the last time I tried it. C’est la vie, n’est-ce pas?) The color is shimmering pale gold, and the tiny bubbles surge upward is a steady swirling eddy. Made in the Champagne method of second fermentation in the bottle, this is quite lemony, with touches of lemon balm, apple and limestone and, after a few moments in the glass, a hint of crystallized ginger. Pert acidity keeps this sparkler bright and lively, while a scintillating mineral element — limestone and flint — lends earthy authority. It’s dry, appealingly effervescent, stylish and tasty, and it offers, as a bonus, a final fillip of sweet floral bounty. 12 percent alcohol. Very Good+. About $24.
Imported by Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York. A sample for review.

paphos car hire does not have offices on either side.
Simply go to the old city and crusader castle, that the Ohio governor made it a very special
Golf Destination.

Nice post. I find out some thing far more challenging on several blogs everyday. It’s going to often be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice somewhat something from their store. I’d prefer to use some using the content on my blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
